Blog Income – January 2008

Hah!  This is the first post I’ve ever had to make regarding this blog’s income.  Since the start last June, not only have I seen a steady increase in traffic, but the blog’s finally able to support itself.  Here’s a breakdown of this month’s blog income:

  • TLA Links:  $20.03
  • Sponsored Reviews:  $65.00
  • TNX Links:   $41.98
  • Private Sales:  $51.35
  • Total for January 2008:   $178.36

So it isn’t the income some A-list bloggers see.  But this shows that anyone, starting from scratch and passionate about a topic, can easily create a blog that can bring in just enough to have that night out on the town with family and loved ones.  Next month, I’m expecting Google Adsense to kick in for the first time.  A mix of other sponsored reviews and link sales should keep up the monthly support for the blog.  All funds for the blog sit in my PayPal money market account for blog expenses only.  How do you all deal with your blog’s income and expenses?  Do you all have a separate account for your blogging habits?
